MODERATORS
They're not obnoxious and I used this app before Reddit got shite, and it has some great polish. Havent tested the FOSS apps for ages tho
There is no such thing as a not-obnoxious advertisement. When you tolerate ads, you're downloading capitalism.
Failing to block ads is like that except instead of cool devil Lenin it's biblically accurate Kissinger.
Thunder is pretty good, no ads
I'll take a look. Jerboa is a lot better nowadays having just tried it.
Why are you seeing ads on lemmy?
Shitty app developers who integrate ads to make money when displaying other people's content.
Its not lemmy, but their App. Yes, there are some closed source lemmy Apps that for some reason exist, which are (in this case) just Clones of other Apps like jerboa.
Sync was actually a closed source client for Reddit that pivoted to Lemmy after the API changes. Still saves images to a folder called reddit_sync, even.
Where did you hear it's a jerboa clone?
Tell me you dont see the similarities. The menu alone is just the same
Sync was released 6 years before Lemmy. I promise you Sync did not copy Jerboa's layout.
Switch to voyager, no ads.
The hell? My sync app looks like this:
You're on light mode I guess? Otherwise looks the same. The ads are some google ads plugin so I guess it's picked up me searching about it on google by accident at some point (I usually use duckduckgo)
The ad banner never gets larger than the one you see in the picture for me. Weird idk
Remember when KissAnime died.
